Karnaugh Maps are great, but they are far from ideal for problems with more than 4 variables. An alternative is to use a tabular method, such as the Quine McCluskey Algorithm. However, using pen and paper this is slow, tedious and error prone. The idea behind Simpogical is to give you a logic simplification tool that sits right on your phone.

The idea for the application came from teaching Boolean logic simplification to stage-1 undergraduates at the University of Plymouth (UK). Performing these calculations by hand is both tedious and error prone. The iPhone / iPod Touch seemed to be the ideal platform for a pocket application (I even use it to check my worked examples during Lecutures).

Simpogical is written as a "Universal" application (also runs on an iPad in native resolution).

Summary

You complete a truth table, and Simpogical will calculate the simplest logic.

Lists useful permutations

Handles upto 512 logic terms, in up to 10 variables

Handles don't care conditions

Emails the results in LaTeX and plain format

Sympogical is designed to be an educational tool. Although it is very capable, it is NOT intended to be a professional design tool.
